Flicker

Like these candles, we are slowly dying
We're together for only this short time, so let's make it amazing
Let's burn brightly

You didn't say much tonight. I didn't say anything.
But there was so much that I wanted to say to you.

I wish I didn't have to wait for a straight answer from you. I wish you'd just give me a yes or no.
I wish you and I were closer. And I know that we're drifting.
But darling, I love you. And Not in that sappy storybook romance way.
I love mostly everything about you, even though I have the tendency to tease.
I love the friend you are and the person you've become.
I love being your friend. Period.
And although I sometimes selfishly wish that isn't all we're going to be, I am happy just being with you.
Because you may not realize it, but I trust you more than I do anyone else.
And you're the only one I can open up to.
So just know that although I'm not a sobbing mess on the floor, I still care.
I care about you.
Never forget that.
That I'm here.
